Destructive forest fires are again raging

people have to fight for their lives.

Miss Rendau. a French maiden, nine.
teen years, who resided in Chicago, was
buried recently. She had been subject to
violent spasms and fits OF vomiting for
many days. No doctor was able to dis
cover the cause OF her death. On the day
before her death she was seized with q
more violent paroxysm than ever before.
There was a choking sensation in her
throat, and finally there was forced up
from her stomach q live young swapping
turtle with q shell AS large as a hall dollar.
The attending physician says that the pa
tient became unconscious and almost i'm
mediately began to swell up in her limbs like
one afflicted with the dropsy. She never
rallied. The turtle is a perfect specimen
of it's kind, and it Is believed that it grew
from a germ swallowed in water from Lake
Michigan.

Statistics published in the North
China Herald. strongly support the
ancient estimates OF the population
OF China. 1t appears that the authori-
ties at Pekin have recently taken q
census for taxing purposes, and that
the village bailifs whose business it is
to understate the figures, return the
population at 319 ,3s3, 500. Five
provinces are omitted, and their pop
ulation, as recorded in the last census,
brings the total up to 800, 900, 900.
Even this figure is independent OF the
population of Thibit, Kashgar, Ill and
Corea, and the total number OF souls
ruled by the emperor OF China, there
fore exceeds 400, OOO,O and still
displays q tendency to increase.

A new revelation has been made to
the world about the moon, which is
really quite pleasant. DIR. Henry M.
Parkhurst tells us that what we have
been calling the man in the moon for
some centuries is really a woman's
face; and the venerable astronomer
produces photographs showing that
it is very beautiful woman's face.
Poets have long accorded a female
sex to the luminary OF night; anu it
seems from this that the poetic idea
has been nearer the foundation of
actual truth than the scientific one in
this as in many other cases.

Famous Libel suit Discontinued.

New York Special: The old suit OF Rev.
Samuel d. Hinman against Bishop Hare OF
Dakota has been discontinued by consent
Of all parties. Mr.. Human alleged that
the bishop had libeled-h him by a publica.
ton circulated among the bishops, charg.
ing him with improper relations with the
Indian women under his missionary charge
in the West. Mr.. Human de.
manded $4,000 damages. The case
has been dragged through the courts for a
long time. A settlement was brought
about by other bishops rs the friends OF
both parties, and q sum OF money was
raised by them to defray in part MI. Hin
mans legal expenses. In the statements
which were presented to the courts Bishop
Hare says that while the acts imputed to
Human were not established at the first
trial he fully believed them at the time.
He regrets now that he made the
statement. .
A letter from Mr.. Hinman. dated Birch
Coolie. Mimi, Oct. %, closes the CORE.
spondence. In it Mr.. Human says:
! brought the action in the suit above
named to furnish an opportunity for Civ.
ing all the evidence that was given affecting
character and not for any money dam
age, none OF which do / ever mean to re-
ceive, and further, ! assert my innocence
in respect to all the imputations contained
in the rehearsal made by Bishop. Hare,
and trust that he will ultimately conn to
that conclusion. I have no doubts that
Bishop Hare has fully believed me to DO
guilty and acted on that belief.

ly remarkable to call for special notice,
and serves to explain the fact that twenty
two years after the close OF the war OF

three times more claims were presented
in 1887 than in 1881. The increase is at
tributable to new legislation and decisions
OF the supreme court and the second con.

An Important Railroad Land Suit In

AN important bill in equity was filed in
the United States circuit court at st. Paul
by the Northern Pacific Railway Company
against the United States and Andrew
johnson, Thomas M. Sibley, August Sem
.blom, s. NJ. Fawsette and c. D. Bush, all
residents OF Stearns county, Mimi. An
order was made for q hearing upon the
Injunction prayed for on the second Mon.
day in December. The suit is brought to
determine the right OF the company to GER
tain lands under the second indemnity
act Of congress in 1870, whereby lands
granted in aid of the construction OF the
Northern Pacific road from Lake Superior
to Puget sound, in Washington territory.
By the charter every 20 alternate sections
per mile in the territories and every 10
alternate sections per mile in the states
constituted the grant, and in case OF such
sections being already p~re.empted
by settlers, then the company.
to select other sections within

the land grant, and also the doings of the
land commissioner. 1t is now denied by
the defendants, except the United States,
that the company had any right to the
land in Dakota, under the proceedings, and
that they pre-empted the sane aboutNov.
6, 1887. It is alleged that these defendants
intend to cut timber valued at Sc, 600,
and that the land is worth $4,000 more.
The company also alleges that il has sold
500, 600 acres Of these lands by virtue Of
the grant by congress upon some OF which
great improvements have been made. An
Injunction to restrain defendants is prayed
for in the bill. The case, while ii does not
involve q very large sum, Is 81 great i'm
